Saint Spyridon – Carved Wooden Amulet – Mount Athos

Description

Carved Wooden Hanging Amulet with Saint Spyridon

A wonderful wood-carved amulet from Mount Athos with a relief representation of Saint Spyridon.

It is an elegant & handy handiwork made in linden or cherry wood, by monks with great skill in wood processing. In a relatively small size and with a well-thought-out construction (thanks to the cord on top), it can be placed anywhere in the house, in the car or even in a bag, so that the believer feels that he always has the Grace and protection of the Saint close to him.

At the same time, it can be a very beautiful gift for the people we love.

On the back is the exact name of the representation.

Saint Spyridon (12 December)

Saint Spyridon was born in 270 AD in Cyprus, and despite his education he became a shepherd, like his parents. After the death of his wife he devoted himself to God, was ordained a priest and later a bishop. Saint Spyridon participated in the First Ecumenical Council, where he vigorously defended the Orthodox faith. In fact, a special event occurred then. Specifically, while holding a tile in his hand, he made his cross and said “In the name of the Father” and over the tile came a fire, with which it had been baked. When he said, “And of the Son,” water ran down, with which the soil of the tile was kneaded. When he added “and of the Holy Spirit,” he showed in his handful only the soil that remained. Saint Spyridon passed away peacefully on December 12, 350 AD.
